I decided today that I want to revamp my blog: My life in lists – and other asides. I make a lot of lists (like the ultimate one – my ever-changing bucket list). So look for that to come.

In the meantime… I realised it has been almost two and a half years since I made a “playlist” post. And since I just downloaded some new music (by which I mean music from the past year), I thought now would be a good time to make said list. (Although, most of the songs are not from that “new” music – what does that say about today’s music?!?)

My favorite newer song ….

Another song I just discovered I like…. (yay B-Sides!)

This girl is pretty much me… I even rode the little mechanical horse outside the shop I bought my boots in!

One of my cheesier all time favorites…. I met the band when I was in high school … they have since disbanded 😦

And finally, the song I have recently decided to be my all time favorite song (for now)… [and I’ve been a lot of these places!]

I figure it’s a new month, time for another edition of “my life in song”. By life has been, I wouldn’t say ‘depressing’, but definitely not so glamorous lately (as if it ever was!) In any case, it’s been a very “country song” couple of weeks, so all my theme songs for the moment are back to being country. If you don’t like country, just check out the lyrics.

4. I’d forgotten this song til I heard it on the radio the other day…. I have on several occasions gotten many ‘props’ for my ability to drink whiskey straight… and drink the boys under the table ;p

3. I have worked all but two days in the past three weeks, and managed to go out a few times a week still 😉 The harder I work, the more I can afford to party 🙂

2. I’ve always loved Miranda Lambert because she is the punk of country:) I love the beginning and end of this song “I’ve got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a Hallmark card” and “I’ll keep drinkin and you’ll keep gettin skinnier…” Haha! Love it! So me! Also a cute video:)

1. Ok, it’s hard to find an actual Eagles video of this song, but this version is not bad. The video has cool animation, that looks like the Sims dancing. I like Sims and I like dancing. And I won’t let anybody love me. So perfect.

So, in the spirit of the holiday season, and in my liking to make video playlists, I’ve decided to post my top 5 favorite holiday songs!

#5. This song just makes me laugh and I think this is a pretty cute video for it!

#4. What kind of dego would i be if I didn’t like this song? Also I love the part of the video where the reindeer sees the hills and is like “wtf?”

#3. I don’t know why but this has always been my favorite version of this song, and you can kinda swing to it!

#2. This song is how I light my hanukkiah! Not only is it one of my favorite bands, but it includes the blessings right in it so I can recite them along with!

#1. i will always be a little bit punk at heart and this is the best remake of any christmas song evar! Also, the dude signing it is my frickin hero! I’m gonna learn it!

Runners up include “Christmastime in Tinseltown Again” by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy because it’s a funny song and you can swing dance to it. And also, “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” by NSYNC because I got 100 on signing it in ASL and
I still remember it perfectly to this day 10 years later.

Sometimes I wish someone could follow me around with a video camera just to catch the amazing or funny and sometimes dumb things I say and/or do. Then at the end of my life they could make a movie montage of my life. This is pretty much how I see my life anyways. I’m pretty sure I’m not even present for most of my life, so cut to the chase and show all the meaningful moments. Even some of the simple joys, I see as like a quick series of shots with some kind of hippie music playing in the background. If someone could just video it the way I see in my head, I’d be able to remember everything I need to for the rest of my life! Ah, if only life were like in the movies and everything were resolved in a couple hours. Such is life.

Want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans.
My life has become one giant crazy random happenstance.
